Pain

Once I walked this world alone
With only pain to sustain me
Then a Dark Angel entered my life
And she became that life

She called me perfect
though I knew I wasn't
my perfection came through her
she was my joy, my happiness, my everything

Then one day I saw her pain
which drove me to pain and anger
I lashed out blindly, thoughtlessly
Hurting not her pain..... but her

My eyes cried, I spoke in whimpers
My sorrow was deep, my hatred of myself deeper
I want to die, I want to kill that which hurt you
but my love for you stays my hand, for I know at my death,
 comes yours

I don't know what to do
I apologize profusly because it is all I can do
But I can only change myself
to become the man you love once again
